The FD and SC are two different cars for sure. The sc is a nice fast cruiser and is comfortable while the FD is loud, obnoxious, attracts too many penises, and handles like it's on rails though.

It's like dating two chicks with different personalities. You got the high maintenance asian chick (FD) that demands the attention, but rewards you in the end and you got the blonde (SC) that's easy to maintain but it's comfortable and fast at the same time. Well, that's been my experience women at least.

I just put on the Synapse DV BOV. It makes a very distinct 'PSSHHH' sound now, but it's not too obnoxious which fits the theme of this car.

Sounds good Jeff. Send me a text. Bring out that SC430. I've never ridden in one of those yet.

We used royal purple on his tranny, i didn't wanna use it and i had him sign a waiver because i've read bad story about the royal purple on the V160.
I loved Royal Purple in my trans. And I had ~480whp and a welded diff and im SURE it was putting some stress on the trans and I drove it for a long time with the royal purple in it and it did great! I loved it. The trans had Volvo transmission in it before I got ahold of it but when the royal purple went in-it would always go in reverse and shifted decently smooth. I wouldnt throw that option out and im sure OP will have good luck with it!

My V160 has been shifting like butter with the RP. I initially had ATF Dexron III fluid (just like the oem toyota fluid) in there to try it out but it's definitely smoother with the RP.
